Looking at an '03 Focus

[Dan SS2471]

20,xxx miles. Euro Package. 5yr/100,000 warranty. Winter rim/tire package sitting on 16s. He's asking 13k. Average private party value is 11,5 - 12k. Do they not take into account the Euro package? I guess what I'm asking is if this seems like a fair asking price. This is in NJ.

Thanks,

Dan

You can prolly cut him cheaper then that..
What color is the car?
winter rim/tire package?
Stock rims are 17s...
Lol, where at in Jersey?

Remember the euro package was a $3,400 option. I think 13k sounds more than fair. But, that also depends on how bad you want those Recaro's. If it didn't have the euro package I don't think I would pay more than 11k.

Got a VIN? I can run the warranty repair history, sometimes gives a good idea how the car was treated.

Silver. Of course the 17s are included. The 16s (from a regular Focus) are for winter driving. Spare the 17s from all the nasty stuff here in NJ and stick them back on in the Spring. The reason I mentioned them is because they should be factored into the price. They're new.

I can get it. It's actually in the shop now getting two bent rims replaced because of some road debris he hit. I asked him if there was any suspension/body damage and he says the tie-rods are being replaced. It's at dealership so if the repair has been made, that would show up on the report. If I do decide to pursue it I'll see it in person to take a look at the body and look at the two rims that were replaced (along with the other two).

20K miles, but you can transfer the 5yr./100K warranty.

The extra set of Winter wheels/Tires are nice.

If he's asking 13K, my .02 says wave 12K in his face and see what happens!

This is the kind of car I was looking for, and couldn't find, before I bought mine new. Would've been perfectly satisfied with it!
